Note di degustazione
With intense star anise and fat ripe fruit in the nose, the Puligny Montrachet Clavoillon makes a noteworthy first impression. Thick, concentrated fruit coats the palate as this wine possesses beautiful depth and balance with a touch of sweet spicy oak. The Clavoillon needs 2-3 years of cellaring before being drunk; it will last for 6-8 years. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. Ratings with a range of scores in parentheses indicate the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. The wines at the domaine are made by Meursault's Pierre Morey. I was impressed with the relationship he has with Madame Leflaive. The two openly share their thoughts, completely respecting each other's opinions. In most cellars there is an obviously dominant player, but at Domaine Leflaive it is a team effort. The wines spend on average 11 months in oak before being placed in stainless steel tanks for another 7 to 9 months (the Montrachet is never removed from oak). The domaine averaged 25 hectoliters/hectare in 1995 - less than 2 tons of fruit per acre. Importer: Frederick Wildman & Sons, New York, NY; tel (212) 355-0700.
